I am not gonna lie...This morning when I woke up and just 'thought' about running today, I wanted to give up like Lauren trying to talk sense into Heidi on not having another boob surgery to get them to a size H. You know..."you know, for (H)eidi. Whatevs.

Seriously. That's how I felt. So during our weekly meeting at work, my mind was racing...not like racing as in running...because even my mind is tired of running, let alone racing :o) ... So anyway, I set about (in my head) trying to come up with how I could handle these next 2 days before my long run on Saturday (which is 13 miles).

I could just run 1 mile today, 1 mile tomorrow. Or I could stick to the plan and do 4-5 today, 1 tomorrow. Or I could not run at all and totally lie about it on here. : p

So after the meeting I got onto mapmyrun.com as I figured maybe a new route/loop would help me and I certainly think it will! I liked my new route the other night so I wondered if I ran part of that, how much mileage would that be? Whoop! 2 miles! Well, 1.97 miles, but I ran past the starting point just to make sure I got my 2 miles in :) Average pace: 9:58

So that's what I did tonight. 2 miles. Not quite what I should have done, but more than just what I really wanted to do (which was ZERO)...

AND I then changed into my 'ok its cute enough' one piece swimsuit (for training) and popped into the swimming pool for some laps!

30 min of lap swimming. It bears repeating: I am in much better shape on the swimming thing this year! Makes me happy!

I am not a dietician, nutritionist, coach, doctor or anything of the sort. Nor do I play one on TV. Just a older female, active, single, successful in career (but not in love) who is wanting to write about topics I cannot seem to find real women on the interwebz to consort with!

What I am is a tried and true runner, and now a lot older...who has struggled with body image issues, low self esteem, getting older, becoming a runner, overcoming injuries from running, overcoming hypothyroidism and substance abuse and all that that entails.

I have learned the hard way on what works and doesn't work for me when it comes to clean living and clean eating (with occasional splurges of course!), running and just being healthier. I welcome all readers

Every BODY is different, but hopefully some of what I have been through can help someone...or at the very least give you a bright spot in your day when I choose to be my witty self....
